RoadRunner Auto Transport Launches RoadRunner Rate Index for Car Shipping Prices

BETHPAGE, N.Y, Sept. 16, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- RoadRunner Auto Transport has introduced the RoadRunner Rate Index, the industry's first benchmark for car shipping prices based on actual, completed shipments. This new data product, which draws from the company's extensive database of over 1.5 million vehicle deliveries, provides a transparent view of the market that has previously been unavailable.

According to Philip Von Eschen, CEO of RoadRunner Auto Transport, "Car shipping prices have always been quoted, never measured. We have 1.5 million completed shipments in our records, and we know what every one of them cost. The Rate Index makes that information available for the first time, so anyone who ships vehicles for a living can see the real market instead of guessing at it."

The RoadRunner Rate Index offers a range of data points, including national car-shipping rate benchmarks updated weekly, route-level pricing on 250 corridors across the U.S., and seasonal trends. It also includes a free public tier that publishes the monthly national rate, along with vehicle-mix data, including the share of electric vehicles and premiums for enclosed transport. The index is accessible via a dashboard, API, and CSV export, providing users with multiple ways to analyze the data.

The Rate Index is now available for subscription, with dashboard subscriptions starting at $495 per month. API and enterprise licensing options are also available, allowing users to integrate the data into their own systems.

RoadRunner Auto Transport, headquartered in Bethpage, New York, has established itself as a leading vehicle shipping company, completing over 1.5 million vehicle shipments across all 50 states. With a customer satisfaction rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars based on over 38,600 verified reviews, the company is well-positioned to provide this valuable new service to the industry.
